The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
5.0
I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect about this book going in. But wow was it good! In the very beginning there’s several pages that every woman can relate to. I think that’s a lot about this book that women can relate to. Men usually hold the power. They’re bigger they’re stronger and they tend to feel superior. This book can be a bit triggering as it’s about rape. But it was an excellent story. I loved the different points of view. Hearing Hannah talk about her childhood and what she remembered about her sister as she’s asking for help from Rachel to get to the bottom of her sisters murder. It was a troubling story Hannah had to tell. She was young and she knew a lot about what happened to her sister but was unable to do anything then. Now she had a chance to get justice for her sister 25 years later. Also during this time you go through Rachel’s journey of covering a young girls rape trial. Both were so emotional. And it’s interesting how these two stories collide. This was a fantastic book. It was well written. I was intrigued the entire time & wanted to get to the bottom of both stories and needed to know how their stories end.
